Been a while since I photo-blogged last, and this weekend I got some interesting pictures, and here they are in no particular order:
חזרתי ממילואים ביום רביעי וכרגיל יש את אלבום התמונות בגלריה, אז גשו לראות – יש הרבה תמונות של חול 🙂
התקנתי למצלמה שלי את קיט המפתחים של קנון – CDHK, וצילמתי קצת תמונות RAW באימון. אחרי קצת עבודה עם UFRaw על המחשב, אפשר לסחוט עוד קצת איכות מהתמונות, למרות שבהשוואה ל-JPG שהמצלמה מייצרת אין הבדל מהותי Read the rest of this entry »
בסופר הקרוב למקום מגורי התחילו להביא ירקות מעניינים, אולי עוד יש סיכוי לשוק האוכל הישראלי – עוד לא ראיתי כרוב שחור, אבל אולי נוכל לקבל ירקות שכבר מופיעים בספרי הבישול שאפשר למצוא באותו סופר 🙂
הנה ההמצאות החדשות של מחלקת הירקות:

All hands – man those browser download buttons!
Anyway, please head over to Mozilla to download Firefox 3 which was released a scant two hours ago. Also try to refresh the main page a couple of times – its fun 🙂 .
Here should also go a link to Spread Firefox’s world record page, but they seem to have crashed in the ongoing commotion. To cut a long story short, Mozilla are trying to break the world record for the most downloads in 24 hours of a single application (monitored and supervised by Guniess World Records). I did my share, what about you ?
Firefox 3 download day concluded with well over 8 million downloads. The exact figure is still not released as the Guiness World of Records people have to sign on it.
Looking at the local scale – downloads just in the middle east, Israel had tens of thousands of downloads, in the middle east only Iran and Turkey has more downloads. Interestingly enough, Iran has more then twice the amount of downloads as Russia, weird.

הייתי בסוף השבוע באילת עם אמנון לצלילות. הכותרת מסכמת לדעתי את החוויה – היה נחמד, אבל היו גם הרבה שטויות אבל לא היה קטסטרופה.
רשימת שטויות חלקית:
אבל סך הכל היה בסדר 🙂
Not really news, but Microsoft announced support for the ISO OpenDocument format in the coming service pack 2 for MS-Office 2007 (due sometime in the first half of 2009).
This announcement is still relevant, partially as the actual product is still a ways off, but also because I wanted to discuss this more – and specifically what that would mean for OpenOffice.org.
I get lots of spam, in email and also in the blog (known as comment spam), fortunately I have the tools to combat it (Akismet is great!). Every once in a while I look into the Akismet bucket, to check if something fell there by mistake – and this time I was homoursly surprised:
Another post just to get some information out there on Google – there is a known bug in Evolution regarding receiving meeting invitations from MS-Outlook 2003 clients, and several Google searches didn’t come up with the solution, so here is the problem and the workaround:
A default Evolution installation has problems with meeting invitations from MS-Outlook 2003 – when such an invitation is received, it is shown as a plain text message like this:
And you can’t take any action on the email. Read the rest of this entry »
But it is not – I’ve always been getting emails from people that use Outlook with weird characters strewn here and there for good measure, specifically a lot of people that send me email think its funny to add “J” (capital letter j) at the end of some sentences, for example:
And I never could figure out why, Read the rest of this entry »
This is a notice of technical difficulties: I was doing some maintenance work on the blog – installing plugins and stuff, and I broke the comments so that people couldn’t send comments.
I’ve now fixed it so its ok to post comments, sorry about the mess.
Also – now when you comment, you can register yourself to receive notifications by email when anyone answers. This is much easier then having your RSS aggregator read the comments feed.
Again, sorry for the problems and keep those comments coming 🙂
